The 12 Bars of X-Mas Crawl is TODAY. I hope you’ve found your perfect holiday outfit and are raring to crawl with us. I just have a few reminders/orders of business to ensure everything goes smoothly and everyone has a fantastic time.

1.) Holiday themed attire isn’t required but are highly encouraged.

2.) You don’t need to show up to the first bar to join the crawl. We may run out of koozies (limited to 750*), but you’re welcome to join at any point during the event. We’ll have staff at all the scheduled bars as capacity allows. In the past, some crawlers will come register and then hit a bar scheduled for later.

3.) PLEASEcome with the exact amount that you would like to give for your donation. We know it may be a pain, but it really keeps things moving if we don’t have to find/make change. And if we don’t have change, you’ll have to break your $20 yourself and come back through the line. If you haven’t, take a minute to look at the website for our charity, Horizons for Homeless Children. It’s a great organization. As always, we thank our Crawlers for their extreme generosity!

4.) Thanks to our many, many dedicated crawlers, the turnouts have been huge. If we get the anticipated turnout like we did for Halloween and the scheduled bar fills up, you can skip around the schedule. For instance, Trinity is on the schedule at 5:30, but they will be ready to welcome crawlers much earlier. The bars know we’re coming and will be prepared. We just want to remind everyone to have a good time and be kind to the bar staff and your fellow crawlers. If you don’t get a chance to see us, you can always go to Horizons for Homeless Children and make a donation there.

5.) For updates check out Twitter or Facebook. We’ll be updating all day to let you know where we’re at.

6.) I’m going to say it again. PLEASE come with the exact amount you’d like to donate.
